I Was Brought To My Senses

Sting


Alone with my thoughts this evening 
I walked on the banks of Tyne 
I wondered how I could win you 
Or if I could make you mine 
Or if I could make you mine 

The wind it was so insistent 
With tales of a stormy south 
But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree 
There came a dryness in my mouth 
Came a dryness in my mouth 

For then without rhyme or reason 
The two birds did rise up to fly 
And where the two birds were flying 
I swear I saw you and I 
I swear I saw you and I 

I walked out this morning 
It was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes 
For the first time I saw the work of heaven 
In the line where the hills had been married to the sky 
And all around me 
Every blade of singing grass 
Was calling out your name 
And that our love would always last 
And inside every turning leaf 
Is the pattern of an older tree 
The shape of our future 
The shape of all our history 
And out of the confusion 
Where the river meets the sea 
Came things I'd never seen 
Things I'd never seen 

I was brought to my senses 
I was blind but now that I can see 
Every signpost in nature 
Said you belong to me 

I know it's true 
It's written in a sky as blue 
As blue as your eyes 
As blue as your eyes 
If nature's red in tooth and claw 
Like winter's freeze and summer's thaw 
The wounds she gave me 
Were the wounds that would heal me 
And we'd be like the moon and sun 
And when our courtly dance had run 
Its course across the sky 
Then together we would lie 
And out of the confusion 
Where the river meets the sea 
Something new would arrive 
Something better would arrive 

I was brought to my senses 
I was blind but now that I can see 
Every signpost in nature 
Said you belong to me 
I was brought to my senses 
I was blind but now that I can see 
Every signpost in nature 
Said you belong to me...
